I Love You Mama

Many reasons
Have led me to this
To leave this world
Of negative bliss

Boyfriends, who wants them
Parents who fight
To be in my shoes
I will no longer tonight

My diary is written
As to why I must leave
I have felt this for years
As I internally grieve

My i-pod is charged
As I take my last walk
Goodbye grey clouds
I'll miss your thunder talk

I touch the walls
Of buildings I've been in
Leaving my trace
As I graze my skin

Through the park
Where my innocence was taken
By my boyfriend I thought
Left me distraught, forsaken

I reach my last door
Its just a gap in the fence
As I see where I'll lie
My desires immense

On the sleeper I sit
As I await my fate
Say hello to tomorrow
I'm sorry I can't wait

The light gets brighter
As it nears my life's drama
Tears stream from my eyes
I love you mama

James, This is very sad. I interpreted this poem to indicate the girl or young woman is dying of a disease/sickness/cancer, perhaps aids from her encounter with her boyfriend. And while she doesn't want to die, she has begun her inevitable journey. I'm unsure whether her spirit is traveling through coridors and places she been, but it seems she is on her death bed, life fading as she tells her mother she loves her. Very sad poem.
